Coordinates must be entered in the longitude and latitude format, for example: 52░22'22.42"N, 4░53'33.01"E
Copy and paste that in the search box and GE will send you to Dam Square in Amsterdam, my home town

Well, maybe you could try fitting them into the required format, it seems that the DGPS coordinates are close to the format you need, so DGPS 42-18-435 - 79-55-854 may be the same as 42░18'26.10"N, 79░55'51.24"W, assuming that the last part of the DGPS coordinates have are decimals and have to be set to radials (base 60░), so multiplying 435 by 0.06 will give 26.10". If I'm guessing about the N and W, the location you're looking for is somewhere in Lake Erie.

Hope this helps

Great, and it's so easy
I think, this IS the correct Position (it should marks a sunken Ship).
Thanx for the Tip (i tried some Coord.Translation Progs like "Coordiante Calculator" and others..., but nothing works).

I Just love it, to search Shipwrecks.

Here are some Wreck Coordinates, i found:Wrecks
Now i can locate them!

Stadsman is right the first coords are degrees minutes and decimal minutes. No sweat there.
The second are LORAN (Terrestrial based global positioning system) time difference coordinates. You need a LORAN receiver to relocate these - try ebay. They are probably of the same place. Just use the GPS - more accurate.
